Personal Knowledge Management

Knowledge is taken as core competitive power in the current society. The teacher as an educational operator often touch much knowledge, if they could manage knowledge efficiently, the work efficiency will be increased greatly. To mine knowledge and make tacit knowledge explicit, teachers should manage personal knowledge. By the survey of teachers’ personal knowledge management in China, the study finds some problems in terms of Chinese teachers’ personal knowledge management, especially many Chinese teachers are not good at making use of Web technologies to assist them on managing knowledge and communicating with other teachers. One studying focus of Web 2.0 technologies is personal knowledge management, and Web 2.0 provides a series of effective tools and platforms for personal knowledge management. The chapter discusses on the concept of teachers’ personal knowledge management, and presents the strategies of teachers’ personal knowledge management based Web 2.0 technologies, using for reference for teachers’ personal knowledge management practice.

The Impact

<p>This research investigates the benefits and challenges of using Web 2.0 technologies (Wikis, Blogs, Facebook, Twitter, etc.) for personal knowledge management (PKM). It focuses on the challenges and benefits of using these technologies at the individual level to find out how realization of the key benefits and mitigation of challenges can improve personal performance in software engineering companies. This research also investigates the influence of PKM skills proposed by Dorsey (2000) in realising benefits and minimising challenges. Methods of data collection involved semi-structured interviews with three middle level managers and three software developers from four multinational software engineering companies. Qualitative research methods were used for analysing data. To explore benefits and challenges of using Web 2.0 technologies for PKM, a general inductive analysis strategy (Thomas, 2006) was used. This approach helped the researcher to derive concepts and themes which emerged from the raw data. Analysis also drew on and extended Dorsey‟s PKM skill model (2000) to identify which benefits and challenges of using Web 2.0 technologies can be addressed by PKM skills. Results from this study highlighted three important benefits of using Web 2.0 technologies for PKM: improved time saving, improved collaboration, and improved communication across hierarchical barriers. Ease of use of technologies and ease of organising information were found to be enablers of the technologies for effective management of personal knowledge. Results also showed four important challenges of using Web 2.0 tools for PKM: inaccurate and inappropriate information, lack of participation, lack of knowledge about the nature of technologies, and security sensitive. Findings of this study highlighted the importance of PKM skills to realise benefits of Web 2.0 technologies and minimise their challenges. The benefits and challenges of using Web 2.0 technologies have direct impact on individual performances. If employees are aware of these challenges, and have appropriate PKM skills, they will be able to improve their individual performances. The researcher suggests an extension of the Dorsey‟s PKM skill model (2000). Furthermore, in order to enable better understanding about the impact of PKM skills on individual performances using Web 2.0 tools a tentative model is proposed at the end of the study, which needs to be further explored in future studies.</p>

Šiuolaikinis požiūris į personalių žinių valdymą apima tiek individui svarbių žinių organizavimo, informacijos prasmės suvokimo, naujų idėjų kūrimo procesus, tiek socialinių tinklų kūrimo ir palaikymo, bendradarbiavimo, dalijimosi ir sąveikos veiklas. Personalinis žinių valdymas svarbus kiekvieno individo gyvenime, nes akcentuoja gebėjimą mokytis, efektyviai dirbti ir dalyvauti socialinėje veikloje. Svarbus personalinių žinių valdymo aspektas – leisti individams geriau valdyti savo asmeninių žinių procesus, sąveiką, bendradarbiavimą ir žinių mainus. Saityno 2.0 (angl. web 2.0) technologijos suteikia įrankius ir naujas galimybes personalinėms žinioms valdyti. Interaktyvūs įrankiai leidžia individams kurti, sisteminti, tvarkyti ir dalytis žiniomis, suteikia platesnes galimybes ir efektyvesnes socializacijos, bendravimo, bendradarbiavimo priemones. Personalinių žinių valdymas svarbus ne tik individo ir organizacijos žinių valdymo procesams tobulinti, bet ir siekiant sukurti studijoms universitete palankią aplinką. Straipsnyje aptariamas tyrimas, atskleidžiantis studentų naudojimosi saityno 2.0 technologijomis ypatumus.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: žinių valdymas, personalinių žinių valdymas, saitynas 2.0, komunikacija, bendravimas, bendradarbiavimas, mokymasis, studentai, universitetas. Students’ personal knowledge management using web 2.0 technologiesGintarė Tautkevičienė SummaryModern approach to personal knowledge management involves a range of competences that individual use to acquire knowledge, make sense of information, negotiate meaning, create new ideas, organize their knowledge processes as well as share, extend personal networks, collaborate among the knowledge. Personal knowledge management is important for everybody because it focuses on the individual ability to learn, work efficiently and socialise. An important aspect of personal knowledge management is to allow the individual better manage their personal knowledge processes, interaction, collaboration and knowledge sharing with others. Web 2.0 technologies provides the tools and new opportunities for individual to create, organize, manage and share knowledge, as well as provides opportunities and means for a wider and more effective socialisation, communication, collaboration. Web 2.0 technologies provide tools for students that allow more efficient personal knowledge management processes as well as enable spaces to extend their personal learning environments.

At present, many Web 2.0 activities are being integrated into the e-learning spaces designed for learners. We need to analyze and learn from these activities to derive insights about their effectiveness, in order to promote the systematic application of technology in post-compulsory educational contexts, from undergraduate to postgraduate levels and also in professional training. This chapter deals with one aspect of “E-learning 2.0” (Downes, 2005) practices, specifically the importance of acquiring and mastering a set of personal knowledge management (PKM) skills to perform successfully in the Web 2.0 environment for learning in tertiary education. The authors first present a PKM skills model based around a division into (1) basic PKM competencies associated with the social software web practices of Create–Organize–Share; and (2) higher-order skills focusing on the advanced management of one’s personal knowledge. A learning design model and related examples are presented, aimed at inspiring and guiding tertiary educators in designing and implementing activities consistent with the goal of developing students’ PKM skills.
